netdev: expose DPLL pin handle for netdevice
In case netdevice represents a SyncE port, the user needs to understand
the connection between netdevice and associated DPLL pin. There might me
multiple netdevices pointing to the same pin, in case of VF/SF
implementation.
Add a IFLA Netlink attribute to nest the DPLL pin handle, similar to
how it is implemented for devlink port. Add a struct dpll_pin pointer
to netdev and protect access to it by RTNL. Expose netdev_dpll_pin_set()
and netdev_dpll_pin_clear() helpers to the drivers so they can set/clear
the DPLL pin relationship to netdev.
Note that during the lifetime of struct dpll_pin the pin handle does not
change. Therefore it is save to access it lockless. It is drivers
responsibility to call netdev_dpll_pin_clear() before dpll_pin_put().
